• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESRSE013 - &1: &2 not reversed completely, due to follow-on settlement ?

  The SAP error message RESRSE013 indicates that a reversal operation could not be completed because there are follow-on settlements that are still active for the specified object. This typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting or Project System modules, where transactions are linked to subsequent settlements or postings.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to reverse a transaction (like an asset acquisition or a project cost) that has already been settled or is linked to a follow-on settlement. The system prevents the reversal to maintain the integrity of the financial data, as reversing a transaction that has been settled could lead to inconsistencies in the accounting records.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Follow-On Settlements: Identify any follow-on settlements that are linked to the transaction you are trying to reverse. You can do this by reviewing the settlement history of the asset or project.
  
  
  Reverse Follow-On Settlements: If there are follow-on settlements, you may need to reverse those first. This can typically be done through the transaction codes related to the specific module (e.g., for Asset Accounting, you might use transaction code AB08 for asset reversals).
  
  
  Reversal of the Original Transaction: Once all follow-on settlements have been reversed, you can attempt to reverse the original transaction again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the specific transactions or the process, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic: In some cases, custom logic or enhancements may affect the reversal process. Ensure that there are no custom validations or processes that could be causing the issue.
